The OP was hoping to gull those with an IQ less than his into taking him seriously. Apparently, he has succeeded beyond all reasonable expectation, given that this topic has gone on for 14 pages. It seems that notwithstanding his formal, quasi-Victorian style of writing, he qualifies as a troll.

If that is what he wants to spend his money on let him, as long as I don't get hit with bigger bills for having my car fixed.
If he was an employee in the Auto industry his tools are probably
his own and the cost would not be passed on. How long he'd have a job for is a debatable point though. If he was an owner operator the customers
would have to pay for his insanity, that is of course if he was to show a
profit... and not go out of business because of untenable debt.
If it was the aviation industry down here, he would not have a job.
The op could have owned a D4S backed up by a D810 and have thousands in change for what he has wasted his money on....
The below notwithstanding of course:

Which proves Birchmans post above... Mind you, the part about IQ
is not necessarily true... when I read the op I thought he was serious. Never underestimate how low the lowest common denominator can be, being an other thought in my mind at the time.

My budget doesn't accommodate D810s but I do carry two Nikons one with a 28-70 2.8 the other with a 70 - 200 2.8. The challenge is finding a bag that will allow both to be quickly accessible. I have a Lowepro 300 sling bag that they can be carried in but it requires some manipulation.

I cross-cross my D600 with a 24-70 and D800 with a 70-200 across my chest like a pair of bandelleros...when speed is required I can move pretty fast while keeping each camera near opposite hips; no banging! Before I needed to shoot video, I loved the old D700. This is best done with a couple of pro shooter straps that mount to the 1/4 20 thread on the bottom...I will never again use the factory neck straps.
The latest and greatest body never compensates for mediocre glass and/or a bad eye. The old grandpa/troll struck a nerve with a lot of us, I think, because if your an amature, then you buy carefully. If you're a pro, then you buy logically. To me, he seems to have a bit of OCD around dust particles. All good, just drop me a note grandpa when the D850 comes out and you need to upgrade, I'll be happy to take your tired, unwanted 18-month-old 810s off your hands ;-)
